IJMPROVEMENT IN RESERVOIR COOKING-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 163,883, dated J one 1,1875 application filed October 15, 1874.

To all whom it'may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL E. PARIS, 0 Troy, in the county of Rensselaerand State of New York, have invented certain Improvements in Stoves, ofwhich the following is a specification:

My present invention relates to that class of devices known as reservoircooking-stoves and its object is, first, to locate the fire-box betweenthe oven-fiue and the reservoir-chain'- ber, providing at the sametime'suitable draftopenings, whereby the whole heat from the saidfire-box may be concentrated upon the reservoir or upon the oven atpleasure; second, to construct the reservoir with a top sim-' ilar tothe ordinary tea-kettle, for the purpose of preventing overflow of waterwhen tipping; third, to make the reservoir in two parts, the junction ofwhich shall form a strengtheningband, and also a firm support for thereservoir upon its casing; to accomplish all of which my inventionconsists in certain peculiarities of construction and arrangement ofparts, first to be fully described, and then pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a sectionalelevation of a stove or range, showing my improvements in connectionwith tipping or tea-kettle reservoirs; Fig. 2, a plan view of damperattachments and connections which may be employed to regulate draft,850.; Fig. 3, a plan view, showin g cabinet-shelf attached and extended;Fig. 4, a section of modified form of stove or range, wherein the ovenextends to one of the vertical stove-plates and underneath the ash-pitK; and Fig. 5, a perspective View of same. Figs. 6, 7, 9, and 10 aresections of further modifications, showing different flue and ovenarrangements, all comprehended by my invention. Fig.8 is a perspectiveview, showing arrangement of damper in exit-flue. Fig. 11 is a sectionof reservoir, showing method of making the joint between the two parts;and Fig. 12, a perspective view thereof. Fig. 13 is a sectionalelevation through the length of the reservoir, showing relativearrangement which may be made between reservoir and ash-pan withindirect flue at the side.

R is the reservoir O, the oven; and P, the fire-pot, in all the figures.The reservoir-compartments or casing is located upon one side, and nearto the fire-pot. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, L is an openingleading from the fire-pot directly into the reservoir-casing. Thisopening may be grated, and provided with a suitable damper to governinflow of heat. Q, is the escape-passage leading from reservoir-chamberto the exit-flue, and Q a similar passage leading directly from thefirepot.

To heat the reservoir rapidly, the dampercovering Q being closed, thosegoverning Q and L are opened, when the products of combustion will passdirectly through the casing without passing under the oven. A singledamper at either Q or L is, of course, all that will be necessary, andthe opening Q may be entirely omitted; but in Fig. 2 I have shown twoconnected dampers, whereby both openings may be governed simultaneously,D being the damper which closes L, Fig. 1,and D that closing passage QFig. 1, connected to D by rod 61.

By closing the direct and reservoir draft the products of combustion arecompelled to flow around the oven, starting upon their course in adirection directly opposite to that takenin the direct movement. Thisconstruction enables me to concentrate the whole of the heat upon eitherthe oven or the reservoir, or to divide the same between the two bysuitably manipulating the dampers, and it will be observed that this,the principal feature of my invention, is attained in the severalmodifications shown, being independent of any peculiar construction ofoven or firebox, or of the number of flues into which the flue-space ofthe stove is divided. At V, Fi

1, is shown a pivoted or hinged strip located within the flue beneaththe oven, by means of whichthe products ofcombustion may be moreuniformly directed through the flue, and which will also serve to scrapeor clear the same from soot, &c. D in Fig. 8, is a damper hinged to theplate f within the exit-flue. When turned down to position shown, (andcorrespondingly by dotted lines, Fig. 6,) the draft will be through thereservoir-casing, and when closed the reservoir will be moderatelyheated by the products, which expand into the chamber.

In applying a tipping reservoir, as in Fi 1, I find it preferable toform a rim around the 1116 top, as at t, thus giving it the appearanceof an ordinary tea-kettle, and preventing spilling and slopping of waterwhen tippiiw.

Two or more of these kettle-reservoirs may be hung upon the plate '1, orhinged, as at H in Fig. 1.

To provide a suitable support for the reservoir, I form the same in twoparts, and unite the two in a joint, as clearly shown at v in Fig.11.This joint forms the projecting flange which rests upon the casing, andat the same time gives lateral strength and stiflhess to the reservoir,and, what is more important, enables me to construct the reservoir oftwo kinds of sheet metal, the upper part (whichis exposed to view) ofplanished copper and the lower part of yellow metal, or cheapsheetcopper, thus making a very inexpensive vessel, strong, and durable.Double reservoirs, as in Fig. 5, or single, as in Fi 13, may beemployed.

I am aware that the tipping reservoir is not new in this case, havingsecured patents upon it myself. I hereby reserve theright to apply for aseparate patent coverin g the details shown in Fig. 6 of the drawings.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters -Patent, is

1. In a cooking stove or range, having its exit-flue opening on its rearside, or longitudinally opposlte the fire-box, a reservoir-chamberlocated on one end of the stove, horizon- 2. In a cooking range or stovehaving its exit flue-opening on its rear side, a reservoirchamber andash-pit, located the one above the other on one end of the stove, and abakingoven and flue-space on the other end, in combination with afirebox intervening, eonstrncted as described, so that the smoke andheat may pass around the oven or through the reservoir-casin g, at thewill of the operator.

3. A smoke-flue leading to the exit-pipe located on the back side, andin rear of the back plate of an oblong or square shaped cooking-range,in combination with a reservoir casing or chamber, located at rightangles thereto on one end of the range, and connected therewith by anaperture made through the end or rear wall of said casing, to allow thesmoke to pass through it 011 its way to the eXit-pipe.

4. In an oblong or square shaped cookingrange, having its exit-flueopening on its rear side, connected with a reservoir casing or chamberlocated on one end at right angles therewith, the combination of thefirebox and reservoir casing or chamber, separated by a plate or wall,provided with a protecting damper, that may either prevent or allow thedirect action of the heat upon the reservoir.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have herewith set my hand inthe presence of two witnesses.

DANIEL E. PARIS.
